Get a behind the scenes look at how Mad Men and Barbie® teamed up to create 4 extraordinary Barbie® and Ken® dolls. Includes interviews with doll designer Robert Best and Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant.
these dolls are awesome they go right back to vintage chic , and like the first barbies with there amazing clothing,barbie appeals to every age every culture and to girls and boys of all ages ,as a male collector i worked in display for a lot of years so barbie can now be the windows i can no longer dress , i can create any decade any time ,and now thanks to the internet im no longer thinking am i the only guy that collects barbie :}
The Mad Men dolls are part of the Barbie Fashion Model Collection which is a line for adult collectors. The BFMC dolls are made of a material called Silkstone, which feels like porcelain, but is sturdier. There is only one body mold used for the female dolls. I have these dolls & they are very well made. The Joan doll actually has padding under her dress to give her a curvier look. With an MSRP of $80.00, they are NOT meant for children.
@disgrl4 Because Barbie is representing the inspiration for the character. Plus its really all about the artistry behind the wardrobe makeup and hair. Just go with it lol
The Barbie version of the Mad Men character Joan should have been made better. Joan is not stick thin, the woman has beautiful curves. And of course, Mattel-being the sexist company that it is-chose to make her skinny as a twig.
love barbie,love madmen!what a combo!

@disgrl4 the doll represents Barbie as Joan, not Joan as Barbie.

That happened about 1990 when they came out with a porcelain Barbie that sold out in like hours. lol
Though there are collectors for all kinds of toys which is kinda fun!
